Brooklyn “Bling Bishop” Lamor Whitehead was hit with new fraud charges Wednesday, federal prosecutors said.
Whitehead told a bank his business had $2 million in its coffers when it had less than $10, a superseding indictment filed in Manhattan Federal Court details.
In June 2018, he applied for a $250,000 business loan for his company Anointing Management Services LLC, and submitted fake bank documents in his online loan application, prosecutors said.
The bishop — who counts Mayor Adams among his pals — didn’t get the loan.
He continued to use the forged papers until February 2019, including in an application for a $1.3 million mortgage to fund the purchase of a Paramus, N.J. mansion, the feds charge.
The drawn-up documents included “entirely fabricating a bank account that did not in fact exist,” altering statements to make it look like the company had more than $2 million “when in fact during that time period [the business] had an average ending balance of less than ten dollars,” reads the indictment.
Whitehead, 45, pastor of the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministry, was charged in December with allegedly swindling a retired parishioner out of tens of thousands of dollars, extorting a businessman, and lying to the FBI.
He and his wife were robbed at gunpoint of $1 million in flashy jewelry in the middle of delivering a sermon at his Canarsie church. The crime was caught on camera and three men were later busted.
Whitehead’s lawyer Dawn Florio did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
